Ian Bruce & Victor Besch - The Day of the Fair/Merry-Go-Round

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “THE DAY OF THE FAIR (Ian M. Bruce) ’There’s a hustling-bustling in the town And magic in the air. Great excitement in the park, Celebration everywhere. With sports and swings and merry-go-rounds And ice-cream by the ton. While the men are preparing for the tug-o’-war And all the racers run. On the whole, the weather’s been good today It’s a shame we had that shower! I’ll walk you down to the town-hall clock The procession’s in half an hour. When the floats came along with flowers and song Such sights I’d never seen Then last of all was the prettiest float And the teenage Carnival Queen. Now it’s all passed, the last camera’s flashed And the sun is going down. The magic’s starting to fade away From the bandstand, not a sound. Then kicking my way through the lifter of the day The last man took down his stall. When he was gone, with all of his wares There was no-one left at all. I wandered home, all alone And I had myself some food. Should I go down to the dance tonight I decided: ’Yes, I would’ I drank some beer, I danced and I sang As round the room I sped. I’m exhausted; I’ve had a wonderful day But I can’t wait for my bed! from The Orange & The Rowan, released February 1, 2003 Written by Ian M. Bruce/Victor C. Besch“
